The Other Side of Disappearing by Kate Clayborn
3.0
"The Other Side of Disappearing" blends family drama with a touch of mystery, centered around a podcast-inspired quest. Kate Clayborn explores the complexities of sisterhood and the ripple effects of long-held secrets through Jess and Tegan's journey. While the premise is intriguing, the podcast-centric plot may feel overused to some readers. The romance subplot with Adam adds depth, but struggles to fully engage. Clayborn's strength in character development shines, but the far-fetched nature of the search for their mother might strain credibility. The novel touches on themes of protection, truth, and personal growth, but doesn't quite reach the emotional heights of Clayborn's previous works. A decent read for fans of contemporary women's fiction with a dash of mystery.
